I. A different path. A different outcome.

You know how it ends.

You have lived in Vienna for two years. Maybe five. Maybe ten.

One day you ring home.
Your grandmother asks when you are coming to see her, and who you are bringing.

Your partner speaks German. English. Maybe Italian.
Your grandmother does not.

It is not a question of if. It is a question of where.

Here.

Czech-Slovak

Two countries.
One shared world.

When a Slovak and a Czech sit across from each other in Vienna, they do not need to explain where they are from. They already know.
That is what ČS Dating stands on.

Quiz Night. Not just for singles.

At Edícia I you asked for more events, not just speed dating. So we are putting on a quiz night for the whole Czechoslovak crowd in Vienna. Come alone, with a friend, or as a team. It is not just about dating, it is about meeting your people. No age limit, you play for prizes.

II. Sound familiar?
Man in Vienna
For men
A match, finally. And she actually replies.
You chat in English. Three days. It is going somewhere.

You make a joke. The kind that always lands back home.
In the chat, three dots. Silence.
By morning: unmatched. No word.

No mutual friend to ask what happened.
At home she would have laughed. Because she would have seen your face.

60% of people have been ghosted. Among women, 82%. (Statista, 2023)
Woman in Vienna
For women
A full inbox. Nothing of substance.

Odd sense of humour, you tell yourself, "must be the language. I will give him a chance, he looks decent enough."
Then suddenly, three weeks of texting and no date in sight.

OR: you meet up and a complete stranger turns up. You pay for your own coffee.

And then? Who suggests the time, who writes first?
At home it runs by itself. In Vienna, a different story every time.

Something is off. You cannot always put it into words.
But you know it.

The apps judge you before you even show up.

We give you an evening instead.

III. What is different

Not another speed dating.

The apps

Hundreds of swipes. 1 coffee date. She does not write back.

Regular events

A pleasant evening. Third conversation, you are explaining halušky. Not your crowd.

ČS Dating

16 people. One evening. Nobody is explaining Christmas.

The only evening of its kind in Vienna.

The apps

6 months. 200 matches. 12 conversations. 3 dates. One bad joke → unmatched. No second round.

ČS Dating

1 evening. Up to 10 meetings. 5 minutes each.
You see the face, hear the tone, get the context.
In one evening you do what the app needs six months for.

Dating just anyone

Everyone says culture does not matter.
Third month, you are explaining what halušky are.
Sixth, that family is not "too much."
Ninth, you cannot be bothered.

Among your own

16 selected spots. People with Slovak and Czech roots, 30–45, in Vienna.
Jokes land. Memories do not need translating.

IV. Why speed dating

Up to 10 dates in one evening. The feeling does the rest.

Within 30 seconds of a first date, you know. Something tells you.
The apps do not use this instinct. We put it at the centre of every evening.

Up to 10 meetings. 5 minutes each. 2 hours. You know who you want to see again.

A side effect

No match? You still leave with up to 10 people who share your language and your history.
Friends. A network. People you can ring a year from now for a coffee, with nothing to explain.
In Vienna, that is not nothing. It is rare.

VI. Why us

We select. We verify. We protect you.

This is not an open event. We read every application personally.

01 · Verification
LinkedIn or professional profile.

Every participant is a real person with a real identity. No anonymous profiles.

02 · Balance
Max 8 men, max 8 women. 30–45.

Age range and gender ratio fixed. No unexpected surprises at the table.

03 · Safety
Language, culture, intent.

People with Czech-Slovak roots who are looking seriously. The filter sits at the door, not during the evening.

If you do not fit on the basis of your application, the full amount back within 72 hours. No questions. Because without strict selection, it is just another speed dating.

By day she watches over budgets, by evening she organises hikes, quizzes and events where boredom has no place. She loves order in numbers as much as in plans.

VIII. Common questions

What you might want to know.

01
What language is the evening in?
Slovak and Czech, depending on what you agree on at the table. The host alternates between both languages.
02
Why an application and not just a ticket?
Open doors mean an average evening. The 8+8 ratio, the age range, the seriousness of intent: that is what makes the difference. If you do not fit, we refund the full amount within 72 hours, no questions.
03
Why do you ask for LinkedIn on the application?
For participant safety, we verify every application. LinkedIn (or your own website, or a professional profile) confirms that you are a real person with a real professional identity. If you do not have LinkedIn, you can give us Instagram. Profiles are kept internal, we never publish them.
04
How do matches work after the evening?
After the event you get a short form. You mark who you want to see again. If the interest is mutual, we exchange contacts, only between the two of you. No public lists, no awkward moments.
05
Do I have to live in Vienna?
Yes. We are looking for people who live in Vienna. Serious relationships stand and fall on geography: if you do not live in the same city, it is much harder. That is why ČS Dating Wien is for people with Slovak and Czech roots who call Vienna home. It does not matter whether you were born in Bratislava, Brno, or Vienna — if you carry our roots, you belong here.

Grew up hearing Slovak at home? Parents from Brno? Grandma made halušky?

ČS Dating Wien is not about passports. It is about roots. If you carry Slovak or Czech language and culture — whether you grew up in Košice, Prague, or on Mariahilfer Straße — this is for you.
